I’ve been trying to post Sythyry daily for a while. I’m not sure if I can keep it up … but if you like that much small blue doom lizard, here’s how you can encourage me.

I write and post Sythyry’s Vacation because I know that people read it and enjoy it. The more fuel I get for it, the more I’ll write. So here’s what I want for fuel, with the most important things up top. If you do any of these things, you are encouraging me to write more.

1. Feedback! Comments to me, on LJ or personal email or chat or whatever. Notes to Sythyry, which zie sometimes answers and occasionally (rarely!) even understands properly. Notes to other characters if you like. Suggestions to me of things you’d like to see. Cheers for things you’re glad you saw, or even complaints about things you weren’t glad you saw. Feedback is what keeps me writing day by day, so it’s definitely at the top of the list.
2. More readers! If you think that Yorgo the Approximately Glorious would like Sythyry’s Vacation, tell zir about it. Sythyry’s Vacation will be relatively self-contained, so Yorgo can start reading about now and have relatively little to catch up on.
3. Buy our other stuff! There’s the World Tree RPG gamebook (which explains the physics and general world that Sythyry lives in) if you like gaming. My novel A Marriage of Insects is set in the same universe and has a similar style. Sythyry’s Journal is a collection of the first run of Sythyry, self-published. These are all available on Amazon (possibly free shipping), or you can order through us and get signatures and maybe other goodies (but not free shipping).
4. Reviews on SF and RPG sites! Honest ones, and I do hope that means they’re pretty good, but definitely honest.
5. Link me on your blog or website!
6. Artwork! I keep the art page up to date, even, and people will view and admire your artwork.
7. Donate! This is cyber-funded creativity, I suppose. I’m not particularly trying to make money off of it, but I do accept tips and will probably do something nice for you (like a cameo) if you give me one.
   
   
8. Answer the polls and such! I enjoy watching answers show up, and getting surprised at the collective opinion.
9. Send us other creative or fun stuff!

And if you don’t do any of that … please keep reading Sythyry anyways. That’s what it’s for. And as long as enough people are reading, and I know it, I’ll keep writing.

And if you’re already doing that or have done it, thank you very much!

Enjoy!

Is this crossposted?

Right here! You can buy a print copy of Sythyry’s Journal (that’s the first Sythyry series) — a quite substantial 600+-page book, edited by Vicki Borah Bloom, with nifty cover art by Tod Wills.

World Tree now has a TV Tropes entry!

, my translator, will be doing some Crowdsource Tarot readings from the deck that  and it constructed, tonight, over at its journal.

I’m going to do Crowdsource Tarot readings tonight.  Ask a question in a comment; I will give it a shorter or longer answer as a comment.  I’ll edit this to say "Too Late" when I’m done for the night.

Edit: Bedtime is 11:00, and I’ve got all I can handle before then!

If you have an important question that you want an answer for soon, ask it and I’ll answer tomorrow.  (Crossing my palm with Paypal wouldn’t hurt on getting that answer, y’know?)  Otherwise, I’m going to do this now and then!
